Philosophy of Care
As a 24 year veteran of Army Medicine I have come to recognize that healthcare is a team sport. As such, I actively seek the cooperative input of parents and primary caregivers in the care of my patients so that the therapeutic options I provide are practical and timely to the patient’s needs.
Coordination of care with other sub-specialists is essential to the care of my patients. I am willing to consider integrating non-traditional options in their care. I consider it a great honor to provide for the healthcare needs of children.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Arthur de Lorimier cares for patients with all forms of Pediatric gastrointestinal disorders to include feeding difficulties, motility disorders, functional disorders of the bowel, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, and nutritional disorders.
As a Helms Medical Acupuncture trained physician, he provides acupuncture to appropriate patients as an adjunct to traditional treatments in the care of children with functional and motility disordersmof the gut.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. de Lorimier is interested in the study of functional and motility disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, small bowel rehabilitation, and integrating non-traditional forms of healthcare in the care of his patients.
